VICTUURI

Victor Nikiforov x Yuri Katsuki
YURI!!! on Ice
Art credits: su-rodriguez on Tumblr

One of my first ever ships!! These two mean so much to me, I love them so dearly. They made me realize I wasn't full hetero, which was cool! YoI is one of my comfort shows, and these two are part of the reason why.

Headcanon time!
Victor: Genderqueer, he/him, unlabeled sexuality. I associate him with cold weather, large dogs, the colors black and gold, androgyny, big jackets, and of course, ice skating. He's like a siamese cat to me

Yuri: Transneutral, he/they, bisexual. I associate him with rainforests, comforting food, the colors blue and silver, androgyny, the scent of eucalyptus, and again, ice skating. He's like a chinchilla to me

NICKLES

Nathan Explosion x Pickles the Drummer
Metalocalypse

This is one of my silly ships lol. For one, their interactions are just fun. There's this one concert where Nathan tells Pickles "Aw, Pickles, you're so cute sometimes", which is probably my favorite Nathan line ever because you can just tell Brendon Small was trying so hard not to laugh. Also I think it's funny. I didn't include them but I'm also, like, a DickFace shipper by proxy. My moirail ships them so I do too.

Headcanon time!
Nathan: Cis dude, he/him, unlabeled sexuality. I associate him with dark hair, heavy makeup, hard to understand words, weird food combinations, alligators/crocodiles, and of course, metal music. He's autistic sorryyyy I don't make the rules

Pickles: Trans dude, he/him, unlabeled sexuality. I associate him with drums, glamrock, piercings, violence, octopi, and again, metal music. Pickles is very fun to me he's like a dad friend if dad friends could be deadbeats

REONAGI

Reo Mikage x Nagi Seisiro
Blue Lock

Their interactions are so funny to me, especially early on. Also I like the ship trope where two characters are so intertwined that you can't analyze or discuss one/both of them without at least mentioning the other (Victuuri, HomuMado, EternalBerry, etc). I think it's just so, so cool.

Headcanon time!
Nagi: Neoboy, he/him, grayromantic. I associate him with the color white, video games, sleepiness, being helped, cacti, and of course, football. The HC of him and Reo being codependent but him being like... slightly less dependent is so interesting to me

Reo: Cis dude, he/him, bisexual. I associate him with the color purple, lions, expensive items, business books, codepedency, and again, football. Some of his quotes are so funny to me. "Nagi is the treasure that I found! And in this match, I'll steal him back!" (chap 59), "I will make him say that he needs me." (chap 57), "And that's exactly why they [Nagi and the geniuses] are so radiant." (chap 106) like damn bro just say you love him!!!!!

IZUOCHA

Izuku Midoriya x Ochaco Uraraka
My Hero Academia

AAAA cuties :(( They're my comfort ship tbh. I don't like analyzing them a lot, just a nice, cozy ship I can look at fanart for when I'm down.

Headcanon time!
Izuku: Cis guy, he/him, bisexual with a preference for women. I associate him with adversary, collectables, journaling, the color green, rabbits, and heroism. I think he said his first curse word way before Bakugo but said it without knowing what it meant

Ochaco: Cis gal, she/her, bisexual with a fem preference. I associate him with bravery, gatorade, protective gear, the color pink, mochi, and honesty. She's so cool I love her so much. I associate her with gatorade because that's the go-to drink my family had for sickness

KIRIBAKU

Eijiro Kirishima x Bakugo Katsuki
My Hero Academia
Artist credit: scxrcat on Instagram

Out of all Bakugo ships, this one makes the most sense to me (though it isn't my top ship for Bakugo), and it's for sure my fav Kirishima ship. I just like them and think they work well together!

Headcanon time!
Bakugo: Cis guy, he/him, gay. I associate him with explosions, trading cards, fighting, the color orange, studying, and mechanics. I love him he's such a goddamn loser. Perfect representation of the kind of dude that can dish shit out but can't take it

Kirishima: Cis guy, he/him, bisexual with a masc preference. I associate him with spikes, working out, energy drinks, the color red, roses, and tank tops. I really like him, even if he's a more minor character he's super solid imo

MAVUNZEL

Mavis Dracula x Princess Rapunzel
Hotel Transylvania/Tangled
Artist credit: bob-toronjaa on Tumblr

Okay listen. I was a Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons kid so it's not too out there that I would ship this. IT MAKES SENSE OKAY LISTEN!! Both of them have been extremely isolated from the world because of an overprotective parent (or assumed parent, for Rapunzel). Despite this, they both yearn to explore, meet new people, and see exciting things. I think that they could, at the very least, get along very well as friends. They could bond over their desires to travel and connect with family who may not understand them very well yet. I think it'd be cute :3

Headcanon time!
Mavis: Cis gal, she/her, bisexual. I associate her with leggings, short hair, excitement, makeup, pop culture, and vampires. I like to think she'd like my home country. I think the loud cities with loads of people even when dark would be more appealing to her then the countryside

Rapunzel: Demigirl, she/her, bisexual with a fem preference. I associate her with creativity, flowers, fountains, festivals, anxiety, and chameleons. She'd draw huge, elaborate drawings with chalk in the summer and photograph them for when rain gets rid of them
